Thank you for the information. I am still checking out the train schedule. I live in Lyndhurst, NJ now (Kingsland is the nearest train station to my place). What I concern most is the train schedule to Philadelphia because I need to arrive at my office around 9ish. There are many stops in the Northeast Corridor Line and I am afraid there would be delay. For taking bus, it seems that it is almost a non stop drive heading to Philadelphia.
I took mega bus to NYC before. When I take the bus from Philadelphia to New York, it stops at 7 Av and W 28 St. However, I do not remember if they stop at 7 ave and w 28 st for trips to Philadelphia, other than the one on 34th street. Do you have any information on that? Thank you!
Do you mind further explaining "since Penn Station is between 7th and 8th Avenue as opposed to 6th Avenue like the PATH station"? Very new to the train system in NJ and NYC Thanks again!

Or you can go to Secaucus, take any train to NY Penn Station, and then walk one block less to the MegaBus station (since Penn Station is between 7th and 8th Avenue as opposed to 6th Avenue like the PATH station)
Thank you for all of your information. When I come from Lyndhurst, NJ (nearest train station is Kingsland), what is the most time saving way for me to get to Mega Bus stop on 34th street to take bus to Philadelphia?
I found that there is 190, 192 bus arriving at Port Authority Bus Terminal, from there, I can most probably take the 7 train to 34th St. Hudson Yards (Learnt from Popartist in this post). But my place is not close to 190 or 192 bus stop in Lyndhurst, NJ. There is no parking lot nearby and I do not know where to leave my car if I drive to the bus stop. So, the possibility of taking the bus to NYC and then take mega bus to Philadelphia is quite low.
Considering another way taking the train from Secaucus to Penn Station, I need to spend 15 mins walking (maybe longer if it is in hot days) to the mega bus stop at 34th St b/t 11th Ave and 12th Ave.

Any suggestions appreciated!
If you have a car, why don't you just drive? All the different modes of transporting will have you spending a lot of time.
Actually the way better subway option would be the 7 train from 42nd/Port Authority one stop to 34th St. Hudson Yards - that leaves one right at 11th Ave. and the Megabus stop. Either that or walking would be best, forget about the bus.

There may delays associated with the NEC line stops, but there also are potential delays with Megabus sitting in traffic during morning rush hours in TWO cities. It's more expensive, and I don't know your budget for transportation, but Amtrak offers frequent NE Regional trains from either Newark Penn Station or New York Penn Station. The trip takes under two hours. Maybe Amtrak for AM commute and SEPTA/NJT for the PM when you aren't as concerned about time? (assuming you don't want to pay the extra for Amtrak both ways)
I'd forget about the Megabus entirely and just NJ Transit into Penn Station and than get on Amtrak to Philly.
